News - Yemen: Yemeni Defense Minister, Major General Mohammad Nasser Al-Atifi, affirmed Yemen's unwavering support for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, emphasizing that threats and pressures will not sway Yemen’s stance.

In a statement on Wednesday, Al-Atifi stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces are at high alert, equipped with advanced tactics and technical capabilities to confront any aggression. He noted that aircraft carriers, warships, and frigates of the "Axis of Evil" remain vulnerable to ballistic and cruise missile strikes, as well as drones, stressing that neither the Americans nor the British would be able to alter the course of military operations.

He praised the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi for making decisive choices, noting that such bold decisions had not been made by Arab leaders in over seventy years.

The Yemeni Armed Forces recently conducted two major military operations over eight hours in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, which, according to their official report, achieved their intended goals. Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e announced that the first operation targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea using cruise missiles and drones, as US forces reportedly prepared for an offensive against Yemen. Yemeni forces successed in averting this potential assault on their territory.

The second operation targeted two US destroyers in the Red Sea with missile and drone attacks. The Yemeni Armed Forces criticized the US and Britain for militarizing the Red Sea and warned of the security risks for international navigation in the region. These actions were framed as a response to US and British support for Israel amid ongoing aggression on Gaza and Lebanon.

The Yemeni military stated that operations would persist if key demands—such as lifting the Gaza blockade, halting aggression on Gaza, and stopping attacks on Lebanon—remain unmet. This announcement underscores a commitment to continue operations should these conditions go unfulfilled.

Since October 2023, following intensified violence in Gaza, Yemeni forces have launched multiple operations in solidarity with Palestinians, targeting areas in occupied Palestinian territories and intercepting ships believed to be headed toward Israeli-controlled ports. The recent operations highlight Yemen’s broader support for Gaza while signaling the potential for further military actions across several regional theaters if their demands are not addressed.
